Boutique Bulgarian Wine Tasting in Sofia with a Sommelier

A boutique Bulgarian wine tasting in Sofia invites you to explore the country's wine heritage through the aromas, flavours and stories in your glass. In a welcoming, elegant setting in the heart of the city, you will discover a curated wine selection, Bulgarian gourmet specialities and insights from a sommelier who guides the experience.

This is a different way to get to know Bulgaria and its thousands of years of winemaking tradition. Rather than simply sampling different labels, you will explore how the local landscape and established traditions come together in contemporary winemaking. Designed for people who appreciate good wine and food with a story behind it, the tasting is also an opportunity to share new discoveries with someone close to you.

Three or five wines with distinctive personalities

Depending on your chosen arrangement, you will taste a selection of 3 or 5 Bulgarian wines. Each represents a different region and style, offering an introduction to the diversity of the country's wines and a chance to discover or revisit its characteristic grape varieties.

An experienced sommelier will explain the story of each wine and guide you through its flavour profile. This adds context to the aromas and sensations in the glass, turning the tasting into a journey through different wine styles and traditions.

Gourmet pairings from Bulgarian producers

Each wine is served with carefully selected delicacies that complement its character and help bring its aromas and flavours into focus. The food selection features expertly matured cheeses and high-quality cured meats and other meat specialities from Bulgarian producers.

During the tasting, the sommelier will also introduce the principles of pairing wine with food. You can explore how the chosen bites work with the individual wines while enjoying the combinations for yourself.

What the experience includes

• A tasting of 3 or 5 Bulgarian wines for one or two people, depending on your chosen arrangement.
